SKU: POS078380

$129.99 Standard

Owing to longer lifespans and aging baby boomers, the U.S. population of those 65 or older will double in the next 25 years. As if wound care has not been critical to well understand before, it is going to become even more essential that your delivery of this complex care is at its absolute best.

Skin and wound care becomes more challenging in the elderly due largely to functional changes and chronic diseases that accompany aging, contributing to senescence. Conditions such as photoaging, skin tears, chronic or hard to heal wounds, pressure injuries, incontinence associated dermatitis, malnutrition, and the frailties that accompany dementia and end of life issues require that healthcare practitioners have the knowledge to meet this challenge. This course will do just that! Learn how to identify emerging skin issues quickly and initiate the current best plan for healing. Move forward with improved confidence in your skin and wound assessments and treatments, meeting standards of care with less litigation risk.
